TinyCore from SCRATCH - NADA -ZILCH - ZIP - NULL - - - THE BIG BANG!!!
ScorpKing:
Some of the comments here make me sad. I'm still looking for documentation on how to remove all the GUI stuff. How do I remove extentions and how do I add them? What do I do if I want to use TinyCore to run a small website from a liveCD on my local network? It would be extremely usefull to have a document that explains how everything works in detail. I'd love to contribute to the project but it will take some time to figure everything out first. Where do I start? Btw, I'm in love with TinyCore and a big thank you & well done to those who made it.

We all have to start somewhere. I started out last December with very little knowledge about TC with some of your same objectives. I used this forum to guide me through all the areas that were new to me. Many times you will find there is no generic documentation that will apply to your specific problem. I have found this forum to be of immense help covering many different subjects that go beyond TC. My advice is to just get started and post questions. You will find forum members will help you.

when you first boot tc, you have no extensions. i would love if the entire gui was an extension (so long as it was included in the .iso file!) then you'd only need to delete the extension from your "frugal" install (or use a boot code to ignore it on cd) to not load it into ram. gui users would have it just as easy as they do now, non-gui users would have it easier than they do now.
without extensions, tc consists of a bootloader, and bzImage, and tinycore.gz. in other words pretty much everything you see the first time you boot (including the gui) is in tinycore.gz, known as the "core" or the "base."
remastering instructions (on the wiki) tell you how to open up bzImage and tinycore.gz so you can remove things from the base. i realize i haven't answered all your questions, but then i don't know all the answers, so hopefully this is a useful place for you to begin.
(it's also possible to boot: tinycore text to boot into text mode, but that's probably not what you wanted, because all the stuff for the gui is still being loaded into ram and startx will start the gui.)

So....
I hoped Frink make a miracle and we (i) 'll see rising star - TCFS! But....
So, I'm looking for answers on my question - how tcl make desktop-friendly system? Of course, sound, video, flash, unrar, text editor and fast and little and simple. And beautiful! ;-)
Thanks to Robert and co for this distro!
